Disable generation of pdb files in open source qt build?
-
I am installing qt 6.5.2 on windows 10 for visual studio 2019.
I am trying to configure qt-everywhere-src-6.5.2 using x64 Visual Studio 2019 Command Prompt using the following commands:configure.bat -DLLVM_INSTALL_DIR="C:/Program Files/LLVM/" -skip QDoc -nomake examples -nomake tests -nomake qtopcua cmake --build . --parallelThere are a lot of symbol .pdb files which are getting generated and the size of folder is 60+GB due to which I am running out of space. How do I disable the generation of these pdb files?
Since these are the debug symbols I doubt it's possible except you only compile for release which means you can't create a debug version of your program either.
Why compile Qt by yourself at all? -

Why compile Qt by yourself at all?@Christian-Ehrlicher Thanks Christian for the suggestion. I am compiling qt by myself as its opensource qt-everywhere-src-6.5.2.zip. I am not using qt creator but visual studio 2019 compiler to build it. Is there any other way to install qt 6.5.2 opensource without using qt creator for visual studio 2019?

The Qt online installer provides binaries for MSVC 64bit.

@Christian-Ehrlicher But online is a paid one right. I need non paid version.
Plus earlier version like 5.13.1 I have used provided qt-opensource-windows-x86-5.13.1.exe ( [https://download.qt.io/new_archive/qt/5.13/5.13.0/]). But similar exe is not available for 6.5.2 ( [https://download.qt.io/archive/qt/6.5/6.5.2/] ).
So stuck up in build process. -

@Christian-Ehrlicher Thank you for the link. This I had tried last week too. But the mirror https://mirrors.cloud.tencent.com/qt/archive/online_installers/4.6/qt-unified-windows-x64-4.6.1-online.exe is not reachable with errors "This page isn’t working mirrors.cloud.tencent.com didn’t send any data.".

Then try another mirror.

@Christian-Ehrlicher I am sorry I am asking such basic questions as I am new to qt. Where can I find the list of mirrors?
I tried to get mirror list from [https://download.qt.io/online/qtsdkrepository/windows_x86/root/qt/Updates.xml.mirrorlist](link url) and fired the command ```
"MaintenanceTool.exe --mirror https://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/qtproject/online/qtsdkrepository/windows_x86/root/qt/Updates.xml"But the installer says no updates found. -

@Christian-Ehrlicher I had referred this link only but now realized my mistake of using the entire url instead of using till before online part.

@RkTest I have used the command like this MaintenanceTool.exe --mirror https://mirrors.sjtug.sjtu.edu.cn/qt. But which ever repo I use I get error " at least one valid and enabled repository required for this action to succeed".
I sadly can't test it atm because TQtC f***ed up my account so I can't install a GPL version atm. Hoepfully someone else can check out what's going wrong here.

@Christian-Ehrlicher No problem Christian. Thank you for your guidance.
